Exploring the Puff Adder: A Deadly Beautiful Snake

The Nairobi National Museum features an exhibit on the puff adder, a venomous snake native to Africa. Known scientifically as Bitis arietans, the puff adder is one of the continent's most widespread and dangerous snakes due to its potent venom and tendency to remain motionless, making it easy to step on. The exhibit showcases the snake's distinctive, thick body and keeled scales that provide excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. It also explains the puff adder's ambush hunting strategy, where it lies in wait for prey such as rodents and birds. Visitors learn about its defensive behavior, characterized by loud hissing and a striking pose when threatened. The museum aims to educate the public on the ecological importance of the puffadder and the need for caution and respect when encountering these reptiles in the wild.

There are travel companies like Olanka safaris that organize trips to the snake park, which offers a rare opportunity to see this incredible snake up close in a safe and educational environment. Learn about its unique behaviors, habitat, and the crucial role it plays in the ecosystem
